Asura was once one of the Eight Guardian Generals, 8 Godly warriors who fought to protect Heaven and Earth from a destructive force called the Gohma. Returning from a victorious battle, Asura was summoned to the Emperors throne. But to his horror, Asura finds the Emperor has been murdered and he has been accused of the crime. After escaping vengeful imperial forces, Asura rushes home to protect his family only to find his beloved wife Durga dead and his daughter Mithra kidnapped. In his rage, Asura finds his former allies who have Mithra captive. As the demigod charges to save his child, Asura is repulsed by the god Deus, who reveals himself to be the Emperors murderer so he can bring about what he calls The Great Rebirth. Weakened by Deus attacks, Asura is dropped over the edge of the platform and falls to Earth while swearing to exact his vengeance.
